Abstract

This paper is a historical study aimed at uncovering the “Economic System of the Sriwijaya Kingdom and the Role of Palembang as its Economic Center.” The purpose of this paper is to provide a deeper understanding of Sriwijaya's trade system and the reasons why Palembang was chosen as its center. As the capital of the kingdom, Palembang held significant economic value due to its strategic location at the time—as a meeting point for local, archipelagical, and international maritime and trade routes, making it a major market hub. This condition is reinforced by various archaeological findings that serve as concrete evidence of its strategic role.
